Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Kanawha Head, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Kanawha Head, WV for contractors and homeowners alike. Some buyers are building a new drive on a steep Upshur County slope, and some are patching a hollow lane that washed out in spring.

Crusher run is the material both jobs usually start from, and it is the one to get right before anything goes on top of it.

Materials for Kanawha Head Projects

Base and driveway surfacing carries most of the work on hill ground. Crusher run is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Local quarries sell it by top size, and you will see it listed as 3/4 inch crusher run and coarser. Crusher Run covers the everyday drive and pad surface.

Class 1 base is the heavier course underneath. It goes down under drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs, and it is the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

Class 1 Base is sold in West Virginia as the coarser of the two crusher run classes.

The finer class has its own place. Where a drive or pad wants a tighter surface than the coarse base gives, or as a top course over a Class 1 base, that is the job for Class 2 base.

Class 2 here means an aggregate base class, not a riprap weight class.

Washed Stone and Drainage

Clean stone has no fines, so water moves through it instead of sitting in it. #57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone for drainage, French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

Where #57 is a shade too big, #67 Stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone for drainage beds and bedding. Smaller still, #8 Limestone is a washed chip for paver joints and fine drainage.

Sand, Soil and Decorative Stone

Mason sand is the fine sand for brick and block work and paver joints. Washed sand is coarser and used for levelling and bedding under slabs and pavers.

Topsoil goes over thin, stony hillside soil that will not grow much on its own. Top Soil handles lawns, grading and bed prep.

Rounded stone finishes beds and borders. River Rock is the medium size, and Large River Rock suits dry creek beds and swale bottoms.

Ground and Conditions in Kanawha Head

Rain, snowmelt and heavy storms are what shape the work here. Runoff comes off the hills into narrow bottoms, and on saturated clay-rich soil it has nowhere to go quickly.

Across the North central plateau and western hills, that means spring thaw is when a gravel drive shows what its base is worth. Ground that holds water cannot be compacted while it is saturated, so a long wet spell, not frost, is usually what stops a base job.

Slope is the other factor. This part of the state carries a high landslide rate on slopes over about 14 degrees, and creek bank scour after heavy rain does the rest.

Slipping fill and cut banks are common reasoning points when a base is planned.

Work runs from spring into late fall. If the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, build the base up rather than trying to surface over it, and let clean stone handle the water.
